Mysteries of the Driftless

North Ridge Guesthouse is very proud to bring you immediate access to an Emmy Award winning short documentary Mysteries of the Driftless. This is a 28 minute film created right here in what is known as the driftless zone, a unique geologic “island” that was formed in a different way than anywhere else in the world due to the tracks of the glaciers. The resulting plant, wildlife and geologic diversity makes this area a place like no other. To top it off, it was directed by our good neighbor and friend down the road. Enjoy!

Decoding The Driftless - Trailer

A wild ride of adventure through the air, across rugged landscapes, on and under water, through a secret underworld, and across time itself to explore and decipher ancient clues of the Driftless Region, with its captivating scenic beauty.

Barry – Minneapolis, MN
This 2 BR place was perfect for us (2 couples hiking Minnesota State Parks). Great bargain! It was decorated very nicely inside. We loved the LR and kitchen area. Great TV reception. We’re able to make our own supper and breakfast there. Beautiful and peaceful spot in the country. Owners were very kind to give us directions to a nearby state park.
